Posture Correction (Cervical-Mandibular)
for Facial Pain
Forward head posture and thoracic kyphosis increase the resting muscle activity of jaw-closing muscles, and correcting cervical posture reduces TMD and cervicogenic facial pain.
How it works
Forward head posture forces mandibular retraction that compresses the temporomandibular joint. Cervical correction normalises the jaw-cervical relationship, reducing joint compression and muscle hyperactivity.
What to watch for
Cervical posture correction for TMD requires physiotherapy — specifically targeting deep cervical flexors and thoracic extension. Particularly relevant for facial pain with significant neck or headache component.
